BROWNELLS - 98 Mauser Magazine Spring 10% Extra Power

The supply of 98 parts from WW2 must be drying up. It was good to see some parts are still available from Brownells!

This fit my Yugo M48 perfectly after the factory spring broke.Only down side is, it doesn't allow you to push the 5 round below the bolt to carry on an empty chamber with a full magazine.

My magazine follower often tilted and jammed in the magazine. This new spring solved the problem. It fit my M24/47 without modification.

I have had a sporterized Mauser since I was a kid. It has always had feeding issues. I recently decided to dress it up a bit, and took it down to refinish all the worn metal and apply a texturized finish to the metal. Upon inspection, I found the original magazine spring was cracked, and causing the magazine follower to push towards one side. I bought this brownells magazine spring to replace the old one, and upon inspection of the new spring, I realized not only was my old spring cracked, it was seriously worn out with much less tension. This new spring has taken my finicky mauser to rock solid. I was so happy with the improvement, I also order the alminum magazine follower, new guard screws, and a nice leupold scope. The new spring fit in the original magazine follower and magazine floor plate without modification. It fit tight, and had just the right amount of compression/tension

Had to trim to fit the 308 spanish and even with even trimming the follower had issues remaining level and wouldnt cycle correctly. Back to the original and all is working fine. Otherwise felt noticeably stiffer and seemed like it would be a. Ice upgrade (if only it worked)
